Sens fans get parking lot relief
New on-ramp, for Scotiabank Place will make sports fans happy, say politicians

Nation’s capital bakes under the sun Temperatures were expected to reach the mid-40s C with humidex in Ottawa. For more on the temperatures scorching Canada, see page 10.
The agonizing wait in the parking lot after Sens games may get shorter. Officials with the hockey team, the City of Ottawa and the Ontario government announced they will build a new on-ramp to Hwy. 417. You’ll just have to wait two years for the construction to finish. Ontario Minister of Infrastructure Bob Chiarelli announced the province will invest in a new onramp to the eastbound Hwy. 417 that will take vehicles directly from the parking lot of Scotiabank Place. The Ontario government will contribute $500,000, while the city will fork over $250,000. The project will also see the construction of additional high occupancy vehicle lanes on the highway from Eagleson Road to Hwy. 7. “As an Ottawa Senators fan, I know first-hand what this ramp

“This investment by the provincial government will not only create valuable jobs locally, but will also improve quality of life for transit users.� MINISTER OF INFRASTRUCTURE BOB CHIARELLI
means for the community,� said Chiarelli, who called the traffic congestion following games “unacceptable. Mayor Jim Watson said the ramp will reduce wait times for buses exiting the parking lot after Senators games from the current estimated 18 minutes to two minutes. "The calculation in gas savings is tens of thousands of dollars every month," said Watson. SEAN MCKIBBON

The great economic smackdown The Ontario Liberals paint a rosier picture of the economy than the Progressive Conservatives — but who’s right? Metro asks BMO economist Douglas Porter to weigh in JESSICA SMITH
@METRONEWS.CA
Until Ontarians go to the polls on Oct. 6, you can expect to hear competing claims about the economy. But it’s best to take them with a grain of salt, one economist says. Liberal Cabinet minister Glen Murray was in Ottawa this week touting his government’s economic performance. He had sharp words for Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak, whom he referred to as “economically incompetent,” and whose policies, he said, would ruin the economic recovery. Stepping into the ring, Nepean-Carleton Progressive Conservative MPP Lisa MacLeod said Premier Dalton McGuinty had “destroyed” the province’s economy, and Hudak would fix McGuinty’s mistakes by stimulating spending and economic growth with tax breaks and help for small businesses. But Douglas Porter, deputy chief economist at BMO, warns that politicians can selectively apply statistics to situations and time frames and spin them to their own benefit. “Ontario has had quite a cycle. We’ve been hit hard and we’ve had quite a nice recovery from the depths two years ago,” he said. “Politicians can certainly make hay with these statistics.”

On the state of the Ontario economy:
On the state of the Ontario economy:
“It’s unfortunate that Dalton McGuinty has taken eight years of his mandate to, effectively, utterly destroy Ontario’s economy. We were first in economic growth in Canada and he’s brought us to worst.”
“We’ve had one of the best (economic) recoveries in the world.”
Douglas Porter responds:
“That’s true. However, Ontario’s recovery has been swift and dramatic because its crash during the recession was so hard.”
“It’s true that Ontario was worst in Canada in terms of economic growth during McGuinty’s term, but that was in 2009 at the depths of the recession. Now we’re no longer the worst, but about on par with the rest of the country.”
On the status of Ontario jobs:
Douglas Porter responds:
Douglas Porter responds: “Also true. However, manufacturing job losses came from a high dollar and competition from China: Two things out of the control of provincial politicians.”

On the status of Ontario jobs: “We’ve recovered 124 per cent of the jobs lost in the recession. We’re ahead by 320,000 jobs.”
“We’ve lost a lot of manufacturing jobs, in fact, 300,000 in (Dalton McGuinty’s) tenure in office.”
Considering it’s a flashpoint of international tension, life on Spratly Islands can be pretty dull. Scan code for story.
Douglas Porter responds: “Again, those figures are accurate, but Ontario has a slightly higher unemployment rate than the Canadian average.”
Not much relief in sight for those sweltering under central Canada’s “heat dome.” Video at metronews.ca

Ottawa hosting forest fire evacuees Daily evacuations from the fires in Northern Ontario are ongoing until the situation improves JESSICA SMITH

Amber Winters, 9, stands outside of a residence at Algonquin College were she and other evacuees from Kingfisher Lake First Nation are staying.
Kingfisher Lake First Nation evacuees were happy to be in Ottawa on Thursday, but are thinking of their loved ones back home. Forest fires surround the community — about 500 kilometres north of Thunder Bay — and smoke is making it hard to breathe. “It was full of thick, black smoke, the fire wasn’t that close yet, but it’s heading in that direction,” said Cepra Sugarhead who arrived in Ottawa with her 13-yearold daughter Allysa at

about 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday. They were flown in a Hercules to Thunder Bay and from there by jet to Ottawa. The city is expecting about 300 evacuees from Kingfisher Lake, but the number is uncertain because the conditions keep changing, said Ottawa Paramedic Service chief Anthony Di Monte. Medical crews treated
the evacuees as they arrived. Four were treated in hospital for smoke inhalation, he said. “It was really smoky, no kids could go outside,” said nine-year-old Amber Winters. Now that she’s in Ottawa she’s doing many of the same things she can usually do at home. “I’m playing around, walking around and just watching TV,” she said. Amber and her sister Breeze, 8, said they’re thinking of their five pets, who are back home with their dad. “I’m worried they might get sick,” said Breeze.
Forest fire facts Hot, dry weather has created the conditions for forest fires in Northern Ontario, with more than 100 burning. There are 2,000 firefighters and support staff involved in fire fighting efforts. There are 16 water bombers and 85 other aircraft involved in the fire fighting operations.

Ex-general is fined for affair
Federal officials have released the names of 30 suspected war criminals they say entered the country illegally. The government launched a website Thursday identifying the suspects and is asking the public to report any information that could lead to their whereabouts. There are stringent measures to prevent war criminals from entering the country, but it can be difficult to spot those who apply for asylum using false passports, he said.
Former No. 1 man in Afghanistan pleads guilty to having illicit relations there then urging a cover up The dramatic fall from grace of a once-rising star in Canada's military culminated Thursday in a $7,000 fine and a symbolic reprimand. This was after former brigadier-general Daniel Menard had already gone from being a prominent military commander, to an unemployed civilian fighting to keep his family and rebuild his tattered reputation. It unravelled following an affair with a subordinate, a fling that began in Canada and continued in the makeshift military living quarters in the dusty confines of Kandahar. Menard pleaded guilty
penalty is largely symbolic, because he will retain his previous rank and pension benefits. Menard had faced a maximum of two years in prison or a dishonourable discharge from the military. Lt.-Col. Louis-Vincent d'Auteuil, a military judge, cited principles of integrity, honesty and leadership as he read out his verdict. “This happened in the worst place, at the worst time — in a theatre of operation,” he said. He said Menard had an admirable career to that point, which is why he was made a general at such a young age. He said that positive track record was also
Military rules Prosecutors cast the case in purely military terms: regulations bar soldiers from having intimate relations while on deployment. The rule even applies to married couples — which Menard and his subordinate were not. When someone at such a senior rank flouts the rules, the military says, it undermines morale and weakens the chain of command.

Ping! Sounds like a scandal
And even a 2012 Games deal turns sour
Murdoch. Troubles mount
Scotland Yard to probe claim Murdoch’s reporters paid police to ping — or track — cellphone signals Embattled media mogul Rupert Murdoch must listen to a new noise in the already deafening phonehacking scandal: Pinging. Scotland Yard was asked Thursday to look into claims that reporters at Murdoch’s News of the World paid officers to obtain people’s locations by pinging — tracking their cellphone signals. The practice is known as pinging because of the way cellphone signals bounce or “ping” off relay towers. Jenny Jones, a Green Party member of the Metropolitan Police Authority, cited claims that reporters

London’s Metropolitan Police says it’s assigning 15 more officers to help the 45 already involved in the phonehacking investigation. at the now-defunct tabloid were able to trace mobile phones in return for payments to corrupt police officers. Sean Hoare, a former News of the World reporter, said officers were paid nearly $500 per trace. Hoare was found dead Monday at his home near London. Police say the
death is not suspicious. Pinging joins a host of alleged media misdeeds being put under the microscope as police, politicians and the public weigh allegations that News of the World journalists engaged in years of lawless behaviour to get scoops. The crisis has shaken Murdoch’s media empire and has led to resignations of two of Scotland Yard’s most senior officers. British politicians have felt the heat too, with the country’s top two party leaders falling over each other to distance themselves from papers they once courted assiduously. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Now he faces lawsuits As the phone-hacking scandal makes headlines in Britain, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. must confront at least two U.S.-based shareholder lawsuits, a possible Standard & Poor’s credit downgrade and the beginnings of a federal investigation.
Rupert Murdoch’s British newspapers are set to lose exclusive access to British athletes ahead of the 2012 London Olympics after the closure of the News of the World. Team 2012, an initiative supporting British Olympians, had signed up News International as its official partner to help raise funds for athletes. But the British branch of Murdoch’s empire can no longer meet its Team 2012 obligations after the Sunday tabloid was closed. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hottest night ever in parts of Ontario, soaring daytime highs But power supply expected to meet demands KATE ALLEN/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE
A night thick with muggy heat, clammy skin and sweaty sheets broke records in southern Ontario early Thursday and was followed by a day of blazing hot sunshine and searing temperatures. The humidity dropped slightly after the soupy night, but soaring temperatures kept shirts clinging to lower backs as people began their morning commute under humidex values pushing 40 C. To put it in perspective, most steam rooms are set at temperatures between 37 and 40 C. “I’m standing in the shade just so that I don’t get fried like eggs,� said 24-

year-old Chris Parkinson outside of Toronto’s Eaton Centre. Weather watchers were keeping a keen eye on the mercury as it climbed close
to previous records. In Toronto the record downtown is 40.2 C, which was set during a heat wave in 1936. The record at Pearson International Airport is 38.3 C, which was set in 1948. It was likely higher there during the 1936 heat wave, but record-keeping didn’t start at the airport until 1937. In Windsor, records date back to 1940 and the hottest temperature on file is 40.2 C, which was set on June 25, 1988. But what catches the eye of Environment Canada senior climatologist Dave Phillips more than the scorching daily highs are the nights that provide no relief. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Atlantis makes final touchdown
Space Shuttle Atlantis comes to a complete stop at the Kennedy Space Center landing strip at Cape Canaveral Thursday. The landing of Atlantis marks the end of NASA’s 30-year space shuttle program.
Darkness robbed almost all views of shuttle approaching for last time, making it more of NASA family affair Atlantis and four astronauts returned from the International Space Station in triumph Thursday, bringing an end to NASA’s 30-year shuttle journey with one last, rousing touchdown that drew cheers and tears. Thousands gathered near the landing strip and packed Kennedy Space Center, and countless others watched from afar, as NASA’s longest-running spaceflight program came to a close. “After serving the world for over 30 years, the space shuttle’s earned its place in history. And it’s come to a final stop,” commander Christopher Ferguson ra-
dioed after a ghostlike Atlantis glided through the twilight. “Job well done, America,” replied Mission Control. With the space shuttles retiring to museums, it will be another three to five years at best before Americans are launched again from U.S. soil, as private companies gear up to seize the Earth-to-orbit-and-back baton from NASA. The long-term future for American space exploration is just as hazy, a huge concern for many at NASA and all those losing their jobs because of the shuttle’s end. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
“The space shuttle has changed the way we view the world and it’s changed the way we view our universe. There’s a lot of emotion today, but one thing’s indisputable: America’s not going to stop exploring." ATLANTIS COMMANDER CHRISTOPHER FERGUSON

Gadhafi’s backup plan Libya rebels: Oil installations booby-trapped by Gadhafi forces Libyan ruler Moammar Gadhafi’s troops have booby-trapped petroleum installations in the strategic oil port of Brega so they can be blown up if his regime loses the town, a top rebel official said Thursday. Mahmoud Jibril, the rebels’ diplomatic chief, also said Gadhafi’s forces have booby-trapped oil fields. He did not state which fields. While Brega STATISTIC

So what’s behind the drop? The experts point the finger at shifting demographics. Their theory goes like this: the number of young people in this country is shrinking. Younger people tend to commit more crimes than older people. So if there are fewer younger people, it follows there will also be less crime. THE CANADIAN PRESS
Rebels hold most of eastern Libya, but their push to seize Brega since last week unravelled Tuesday when 27 rebels were killed in shelling by Gadhafi’s troops. Their forces have since pulled back from the city amid hopes that Gadhafi’s forces will surrender, and Jibril said rebel fighters “are circulating Brega from all fronts right now.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fake Apples in China? It looks almost exactly like a sleek Apple store. Sales assistants in blue T-shirts with the company’s logo chat with customers. Signs advertising the iPad 2 hang on the white walls. Outside, the famous logo sits next to the words Apple Store. China, long known for producing counterfeit consumer gadgets, software and brand name clothing, has reached a piracy milestone — fake Apple stores. An American who lives
in Kunming in southern Yunnan province said Thursday that she stumbled on three shops masquerading as Apple stores. She posted photos on her BirdAbroad blog. The 27year-old, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the set-up was convincing. “It had the classic Apple store winding staircase and weird upstairs sitting area,” she wrote. “But some things were just not right: the stairs
were poorly made. The walls hadn’t been painted properly.” A worker at a fake Apple store told The Associated Press that they “are” an Apple store before hanging up. Amy Bessette, an Apple spokeswoman, said it had no comment on the Chinese stores, but pointed to a web page on Apple’s Chinese site that lists its authorized resellers.

Loonie at 3.5 year high
Loblaws to find ‘sweet spot’ in sales Rising food prices are an item on the radar of Loblaw executives as they chart the grocery chain’s course this year. The ideal strategy is to find a pricing “sweet spot” where sales volumes don’t suffer, says president and CEO Allan Leighton. “There’s a lot of inflation in commodities ... 50 or 60 per cent of food produced in Canada is for domestic use,” he said. THE CANADIAN PRESS
The Canadian dollar surged to a three-and-ahalf year high Thursday as the Bank of Canada prepared markets for an eventual hike in interest rates. Nervous investors diversified some holdings into the loonie. The currency was up 0.31 of a cent to 105.86 cents US after earlier running up as high as 106.11 cents US. THE CANADIAN PRESS
Sell now before the cool down: Economists The time may be right for Canadian homeowners to consider selling as industry experts forecast that prices should soon hit a peak and at best flatten — if not undergo precipitous declines — over the next few years. The Royal Bank forecast Thursday that the Canadian market will return to a period of much slower sales
and pricing growth not seen for about 15 years. “Going forward, the housing market will look much like the second half of 1990s, with minimum growth in resales and minimum growth if any in terms of pricing,” said senior economist Robert Hogue. In its housing market
outlook report, the bank forecast that home resales will grow by 0.9 per cent this year and remain unchanged in 2012, while home prices will increase by 4.4 per cent this year and a slight 0.4 per cent in 2012. That would mark a moderation or cooling off from strong growth enjoyed between 2002 and 2008. That
period was followed by volatility caused by the global recession and domestic policy changes — such as a sharp drop in interest rates, three rounds of mortgage rule changes and the introduction of the HST in Ontario and British Columbia. “We are taking a more sanguine view on the econ-
omy than other analysts out there,” Hogue noted. RBC expects Canada’s economy will grow by about three per cent this year and next and continue to generate more jobs and income to offset the cooling effect from higher interest rates. “It's more of a soft landing, The bank’s July forecast
is similar to past outlooks and reflects a view of many of Canada’s chartered banks and the Bank of Canada. But, TD recently forecast that prices will decrease by 10 per cent over the next two years, accompanied by a 15 per cent decline in sales. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Chrysler repays final loan Federal and Ontario governments now out of the auto business
The federal and Ontario governments have sold their remaining stakes in automaker Chrysler to its parent company Italian car producer Fiat for US$140 million. The sale, announced yesterday, is essentially the final repayment of Canadian government
sembly plant in Windsor, Ontario.
loans to the automaker two years ago as part of a $1.7-billion bailout to help the Detroit company survive the North American auto sector’s worst downturn ever. The two Canadian governments received about a 1.7 per cent stake in Chrysler when they initial-
ly made the loans, as part of a wider bailout led by the United States government. Ottawa and Ontario estimate that 52,000 Canadian jobs were protected by government help for the battered auto sector. Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said the
sale marks an important step in the turnaround of the U.S.-based car maker. Chrysler Canada, based in Windsor, Ont., employs more than 8,000 people and has assembly plants in Windsor and Brampton, northwest of Toronto, as well as parts operations. THE CANADIAN PRESS

roso. Initial reaction from markets and analysts to yesterday’s deal was cautiously positive. The euro, which had rallied sharply on expectation of the deal, rose further to gain 1.2 per cent against the dollar. The deal on involving private creditors is widely expected to be considered a “selective default” by the ratings agencies, making Greece the first euro country to ever be in default - if likely only for a short period of time. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Reaction Stocks, bonds and the euro rallied sharply on hopes that the deal will be a turning point in the eurozone's 18-month debt crisis. Growing market panic has weighed on the single currency and forced already bailed out Greece, Portugal and Ireland as well as struggling Spain and Italy to make billions of euros in cuts. A draft of the deal said that banks and other private investors that own
Greek bonds have agreed to contribute to the rescue of the country. Ratings agencies have long warned that such measures would be seen as a form of Greek default on its loans, a first for a eurozone country and a potential cause of devastating loss of confidence in the other heavily indebted nations. Markets appeared to be seeing the draft measures as less harmful than expected, however, fueling the rally. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Girl power! Justin Bieber The Wedding Crasher: It didn’t have the comic effect of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, but nonetheless the “Omigod!” factor was huge when Justin Bieber and girlfriend Selena Gomez (who turns 19 Friday, FYI) crashed a Malibu wedding party last weekend. The Biebs tweeted after the fact, “WEDDING CRASHERS last night! hahaha. too funny. crazy story.” Ottawa Bluesfest: Cheap Trick brought the house down, literally, on Sunday night during a performance at Bluefest. A huge storm suddenly blew in out of nowhere, knocking the entire stage down where they were playing. The band managed to get off the stage just before it crumpled to the ground. This incident gives new meaning to their classic hit, Surrender. Moneyball: Brad Pitt’s Moneyball, based on the 2003 bestseller on the “sabermetric” approach to assembling a winning major league baseball team, comes out in September. And even though Moneyball’s myths are exposed in a new book The Beauty of Short Hops: How Chance and Circumstance Confound the Moneyball Approach to Baseball, a Brad Pitt baseball movie will be a box office home run.

Murdoch’s wife, Wendi Deng, became an instant hero, leaping up and directing an epic slap at Marbles.

Cartoon by Michael de Adder Worth Mentioning MUSLIMS. Attitudes toward Muslims have become slightly more positive in the United States, Britain, France, Germany and Russia compared to five years ago, though negative views between Muslim countries and the West persist on both sides, a Pew Center survey found. The survey, by Pew’s Global Attitudes Project, found majorities of Muslims surveyed in five of six Muslim-dominant countries and the Palestinian territories described non-Muslim Westerners as selfish and greedy. In all of the six Western countries surveyed, less than 30 per cent of non-Muslims said they consider Muslims respectful of women. Ten years after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks against the World Trade Centre in the United States, Muslims in the Middle East and Asia and non-Muslims both have concern about Islamic extremism. The surveys were conducted between late March and mid-May. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Twenty-year-old Martin Lind, who races for Denmark’s Christina Watches team, tells The Associated Press on Thursday that he was riding downhill at around 60 kilometres per hour
when the animals suddenly wandered onto the road and into the peloton. Lind says he was knocked unconscious when “two cows, or bulls, just came in from the side” in Wednesday’s first stage of the threeday race. He was admitted to a nearby hospital and released a few hours later.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Chris Evans in Captain America.
Old-fashioned action Richard Crouse and Mark Breslin agree that Captain America is more of an action flick than another superhero movie But it has flaws, like sloppy CGI
Richard Crouse: Mark, I went into this with low expectations. I’m kind of superheroed out these days, but I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a bit long, but it doesn’t feel like the other hero movies we’ve seen recently. The hipness of Iron Man is absent, the jokey feel of Thor is gone. Instead, this is an old-fashioned action adventure movie with extraordinary poets at the heart of it. What did you think? Mark Breslin: I’m superheroed out as well but this guy’s no superhero: he’s an enhanced mesomorph with a magic frisbee! The movie works as an action flick, but it’s missing the irony of the source materi-
al. Is America so desperate to believe in its military that it has to go back to “the last good war” to feel good about itself ? And I have other complaints too, like the sloppy CGI. In the beginning, Chris Evans as a 99-pound weakling looked like a bad photoshopped pic from 2003. RC: I liked its lack of irony. Perhaps part of the appeal is that in the complicated times we live in it’s refreshing to see a movie that harkens back to a simpler time when the enemy was easily identifiable and a strong guy with a colourful shield and plenty of heart could be a hero. The premesomorph Evans may have been a bit sloppy CGI-
wise, but you have to admit, Red Skull’s lack of identifiable facial features was a nice villainous touch. MB: It may say too much about me that I always enjoy the villain rather than the hero. And Hugo Weaving was very good indeed, especially with his red skull. And Tommy Lee Jones always brings his game to a movie, even if the role was rote. Same with Stanley Tucci and Toby Young. The satiric USO tour sequence was fun. And I liked the way the movie ended. See, Richard? I can find the good in anything, even jingoistic propaganda. RC: I know it’s jingoistic
propaganda, but it’s 1940s jingoistic propaganda! I liked the way the movie paid tribute to the rah-rah movies of WWII and B movies of the period. The bad guys are really bad, but never fear! The good guys are better. Where else are you going to see giant bombs, each labeled for extra evil effect with the name of the city they are meant to destroy? MB: The labeling of the bombs was exactly what I wanted more of! I would forgive this movie its flaws if its strengths were greater. But it’s mostly derivative storytelling, choppy editing and unmemorable dialogue. Good action, though.

Twilight stars surprise fans at Comic-Con
Movie reviews
MICHAEL BUCKNER/GETTY IMAGES FOR SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT
Early risers among Twilight fans have gotten a chance to see what some of their big-screen idols look like first thing in the morning. Not long after dawn broke Thursday, Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed, Elizabeth Reaser and other costars of the supernatural movie franchise made a surprise visit to greet fans who had camped out for days to catch a preview of the next Twilight flick at Comic-Con. Greene, Reed and Reaser, who play members of the Cullen vampire family in Twilight, were joined by Julia Jones and Boo Boo Stewart, who co-star as kinfolk in the rival werewolf pack. The actors signed Twilight posters, mugs and other movie memorabilia, posed for pictures with

Good Neighbours
Genre: Comedy Director: Richard Ayoade Stars: Craig Roberts, Sally Hawkins, Paddy Considine 888 1⁄2
Genre: Thriller Director: Jacob Tierney Stars: Jay Baruchel, Scott Speedman, Emily Hampshire 888 1⁄2
Darkplace creator Richard Ayoade transitions into feature film directing with this surprisingly dark comingof-age comedy about an awkward teen, the eczema scarred arsonist he loves, and the new-age guru trying to steal his mother. It’s a shockingly assured directorial debut for the former TV comic that may riff a little too heavily on Ayoade’s cinematic influences, but that’s excusable on a first effort. Submarine is an odd, hilarious and deftly resonant film to forever highlight on his resumé. PHIL BROWN
A thriller about friendship, serial killers and lies set against the backdrop of the 1995 referendum on the separation of Quebec, Good Neighbours has a Twin Peaks feel. That is, if that show had been directed by Dario Argento. The lives of three neighbours in a NotreDame-de-Grace neighbourhood walk-up become entwined, leading to murder — dead cats and tenants — suspicion and double and triple crosses. The undeniable sweetness director Jacob Tierney brought to his last film The Trotsky is out the window, replaced by a delicious sense of mischief and mayhem. RICHARD CROUSE
The Conspirator
Circo
Genre: Historical drama Director: Robert Redford Stars: James McAvoy, Robin Wright, Kevin Kline 888 1⁄2
Genre: Documentary Director: Aaron Shock 881 1⁄2
This widely unknown story of an accused female coconspirator in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln sets the stage for meaty revelations about the Civil War era judicial system. Robin Wright makes every gesture count in her moving portrayal of Mary Surratt in whose boarding house John Wilkes Booth and her son hatched their dastardly plot. Redford draws clear comparisons between individual rights and freedom in a film that may not be sexy but is absorbing.
A multi-generational Mexican circus troupe gets profiled in Aaron Schock’s detailed and visually accomplished documentary: rather than romanticizing life under the big top, Circo simply stays attuned to its urgent, erratic rhythms. The film also works as a portrait of a country in social and economic transition, and as a consideration of the role of old-school tradition in an increasingly modernizing culture. ADAM NAYMAN

Crazy, lovely Harris on Smurfs Emma Stone Actor Neil Patrick Harris shares his grown-up thoughts about the beloved childrens’ franchise
HANDOUT
NED EHRBAR
MWN IN HOLLYWOOD
Once known as ‘the girl in Superbad,’ Stone is morphing into Hollywood’s fave comic leading lady HANDOUT
HEIDI PATALANO
SCENE@METRONEWS.CA
There’s an obvious reason why Emma Stone is quickly becoming the most in-demand comedic actress in Hollywood. The 22-year-old Scottsdale, Ariz., native bursts into a room at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City in an emerald satin dress, holding a bottle Diet Dr Pepper (“It’s my weird vice lately,” she admits) and enthusiastically bids us a hearty “Heyyyyyyyyy!” with a comically grand flourish of her arms. Her charm is disarming. But you’d also know that from watching her growing list of films, from her debut in Superbad to Zombieland, to her first starring role in last fall’s hit film Easy A. Stone at 22 is already high up on the Hollywood food chain. This summer alone she’s promoting three films: last week’s Friends with Benefits, this week’s Crazy, Stupid, Love and The
Emma Stone in Crazy Stupid Love.
Help, in which she once again has a starring role. Stone’s enthusiasm during the Crazy, Stupid, Love junket is particularly impressive considering that doing press for the latter two films at once has caused her to log in enough air miles to make some kind of world record. “This is day nine,” she explains as she begins to count off cities on her fingertips. “I was in L.A., then San Francisco, then Chicago, then Boston, then here. That’s been this week. Then I leave for L.A. on Wednesday and then San Diego and then back to L.A. and then
to Jackson and then New York and then L.A. and then back to New York.” But she doesn’t seem bothered by all the activity, even if she’s annoyed at herself from time to time. “If you [already] hated the sound of your own voice, by the end, man, you really hate the sound of your own voice,” she says with an exaggerated eye roll. “And then you hate your opinions and your answers. That’s just been my general experience. I feel like I’m not really here right now. I feel like I’m hallucinating a little bit.”
Aside from getting the chance to help update a beloved franchise, there was one main draw about starring in the Smurfs for Neil Patrick Harris: It was nothing like his over-thetop How I Met Your Mother character. “I spend six-and-a-half, seven months a year playing the chewing-on-thescenery Barney Stinson, and so I look for a role that is different than him in some way during my off time,” he says. And his character, Patrick Winslow, a father-to-be and put-upon marketing exec whose New York apartment becomes a hideout for Smurfs, is indeed nothing like Barney. The character is also apparently a departure from Harris himself, who admits he wouldn’t be as welcoming as his on-screen persona if a gaggle of little blue people were to invade his home. “I’d probably Taze them and keep them in a small box and quickly find a reality show or some way to make a profit from it, and travel around like the Warner Bros. cartoon with

the frog,” he says before stopping to consider the severity of his answer. “I’m Gargamel, apparently.” The notoriously sunny actor strays to the darker side of humour again when pressed on what his Smurf name would be, were he to suddenly find himself three apples high. “I’d be Snuff Smurf, and I’d end the suffering of all the dying smurfs everywhere,” he says, grinning, before thinking better of himself. “That was a dark answer,” he says. “Let’s say Magical Smurf because I like magic.” Just because Harris has now starred alongside the legendary Smurfs doesn’t

mean all his Smurf-related questions have been answered. “Who’s shagging Smurfette, really? They always kind of go, ‘Ooh,’ and then they pass out, but I want to know what’s going on late at night in Smurf Village,” he says. “Does she get passed from Smurf to Smurf ? Is she a one-Smurf girl? Is Papa involved? That doesn’t seem right at all. She could swing the other way.” While Harris has been having fun exploring the world of Smurfs over the summer, it will soon be time to get back to work on his hit sitcom — not that he knows exactly what’s happening next.

A family’s search for the perfect cottage. The search for a family cottage isn’t as easy as one might think. It’s location, amenities, activities for the kids and more importantly fitting the purchase into the family budget. Everyone has a favourite memory of spending summers at the cottage and if you don’t you must have heard a story or two.
over four hundred thousand dollars. The more we thought about cottage ownership the more we realized it would mean two houses to maintain financially and physically. After all the whole idea was to get away from cutting grass and fixing things so I could spend more time with my children and simply relaxing.
The cottage experience is as Canadian as peameal bacon or real maple syrup and should be experienced by everyone at least once in their life. Sitting by a campfire roasting hot dogs, making “spider dogs” or toasting marshmallows, making “smores” is a rite of passage for any young camper.
“Fractional Ownership” cottages were affordable but they have maintenance fees and we couldn’t justify spending over one hundred thousand dollars for something the family could only use for only 4 or 5 weeks a year.
As we looked into cottages we found it was quite simple to find something to rent but what about ownership? The thought of being able to escape after a long week at work would be great. Along with my kids having a safe and memorable place to spend their summers would be more than perfect. After a lot of research what we found is, that cottages can be very expensive to say the least. Gone were the days when I grew up, where a $20,000 investment got you a family cottage on the lake. The cottages we liked seemed to cost as much as our home if not more, with some

It sounded all too good to be true, full ownership, maintenance free and activities for the kids...so what’s was the catch? We soon found out there wasn’t one. After a resort tour, we knew McCreary’s Beach Resort was the perfect alternative for our family. We got a beautiful location on the water, a short drive from our home and a budget-friendly family “cottage” that we own.

Michael Bublé says that he wanted to make “the quintessential Christmas record.”

Ready for kids? Aside from discussing his Christmas album, Bublé eagerly entertained wideranging questions from the 2,000-plus fans who tuned in to the chat. The irreverent crooner held court on his wine of choice, whether he would ever head to Broadway (he’s been offered to do a “bunch of musicals,” he responded, but isn’t interested in staying in one place that long) and even how he would assemble his dream dinner party, including guests living or dead. “I would have my wife, I’d have Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie, Claudia Schiffer and David Copperfield — because I think that David could trick them into doing it with me. Magic,” he said, smiling. But the newlywed — who married Argentine actress Luisana Lopilato in the spring — got serious when asked about where he saw himself in five years. “You know what, I want to have kids,” said Bublé. “I’m pretty ready in my life and I think my wife is too.”

Here are a few of the (mostly) useless things I’ve learned over the last couple of weeks: • Dolly Parton has released a staggering 94 albums in her career and thanks to songs like Whitney Houston’s cover of her I Will Always Love You for The Bodyguard soundtrack (which has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide) has a personal worth of about $900 million. • Remember EMF and their No. 1 one-hit-wonder, Unbelievable from 1990?

vais was of a techno-pop duo called Seona Dancing (correctly pronounced as “Shawna Dancing”) in the early 80s. They were a miserable failure except for a song called More to Lose, which became a substantial hit in the Philippines. • Chris Martin of Coldplay has an honours degree in Greek and Latin. • Buzz band Foster the People was originally called Foster & the People after singer Mark Foster, but when audiences kept mishearing the name as “Foster the People,” they
made the switch. • Adele says she was inspired to get into music by the Spice Girls. Her earliest gigs featured her singing songs like Wannabe. • For this final stage of U2’s 360 Tour, the band flies in around 5 p.m., plays the gig and is back on their private plane by midnight. • Sales of CDs are now so weak it’s possible to make it onto the Canadian Top 200 album chart by selling fewer than 200 copies.

Like father, eventually like son

Eldest son of Bob Marley uses new album to both embrace and push away from family legacy Ziggy Marley is proudly carrying on his father’s musical legacy, but he wants to remind reggae lovers of their differences. In a new album, the 42year-old eldest son of Bob Marley reflects on lessons learned from his dad, who died at age 36 from cancer. On the tune The Roads Less Travelled, he sings about his father’s womanizing ways and inability to shed “yes men” in success: “My daddy had a lot of women, and my mama had a lot of grief. The bredrens (friends) that surrounded him became the enemies.” Marley said in an interview that while he’s happy to expand his and his family’s brand — whether with a Marijuana Man comic book or a Marley’s Mellow Mood “relaxation drink” —
he’s kept his circle of friends small and purposefully avoided accumulating any sort of entourage. “I’d rather be by myself really than have like a million posse around me,” Marley said in an interview at his Los Angeles home. “Some of them you don’t even know what’s in their hearts. You don’t know who you can trust. “That’s why I sing that song, because I learned from what I saw as a child and decided that I would take another way,” added Marley, who was just 12 when his father died. “My father, we bumped heads when I was younger, much younger. ... I had different ideas that I shared with him. He didn’t like them as much. He gets upset or whatever. I guess I

had a strong opinion from when I was a little boy, you know.” Marley’s fourth solo studio album, Wild and Free, also includes a song obliquely about leaving behind his birthplace of Jamaica, titled Get Out of Town. The five-time Grammy winner now lives primarily in Miami. “He’s from the country and I was born in the town. One day I told him that. I don’t want to be a country boy,” Marley said of his fa-
ther. “He was upset with those things. And then another time it was about dreadlocks. I said to him, ‘You cannot have dreadlocks. You can be dread in your heart.’ He was very upset. Each father want their sons to be just like them really.” But now that Marley — who does sport dreadlocks — has matured, his singing voice and his take on reggae music is arguably more evocative of Bob than others in his famously musical family.

Vince Neil: Motley Crue’s rockin’ roller coaster PAT HEALY
SCENE@METRONEWS.CA METRO WORLD NEWS IN BOSTON
Vince Neil is not a man of many words. This isn’t surprising, considering that most of the words he sings with Motley Crue were written by Nikki Sixx anyway. We spoke with Neil from his tour bus in Tampa. I’ve read that you guys have something called a drum roller coaster on this tour. How has that been working?
Oh it’s great. I mean, people are loving it. It’s obviously something different. When you’re rehearsing for the tour,
in the Boys Room was a big fan favourite. We hadn’t played that in a long time. And then Too Young To Fall In Love, which we hadn’t played in like 20 years. Is that because you reached an age where you weren’t too young to fall in love?
Well, that song was written 25 years ago. (Laughs) It’s just a song, man. Nikki wrote a lot of the songs. When you sing those words after all these years do you get something new out of it?
Well, no. I mean, I’m performing. I’m not acting out those words, I’m singing a song. ... That’s all. Has life on the road
at what point does something like a drum roller coaster come into the picture?

At the very end. ... Our very first U.S. show was Dallas, so we set up in the place where we were playing for like three days, then rehearsed the new set. We did pyro, the roller coaster and then everything else. On this tour, you let fans select the set lists. Any surprises?
No. I mean, a lot of the songs we knew were gonna be on there, obviously like Girls, Girls, Girls and Wild Side and (Dr.) Feelgood and Home Sweet Home. ... But some of them, like Smokin’
slowed down over the years, or is it still like the Crue bio, The Dirt: Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band?
Well, we were a young band. We’ve been together for 30 years now, you know. ... We’re not drug addicts like we were. There are things that you do when you’re 20 years old you don’t do when you’re 50. You’re touring with Poison and the New York Dolls. Are there any collaborations on this tour where you guys are sharing the stage with them?
No. We do our set, you know. This isn’t a jam session. We have a lot of pyro and a lot of visual stuff. We do our job, they do their jobs.

Drunk, high and happy MINI-SERIES. Former Trailer Park Boys stars Mike Smith, Robb Wells and Jean Paul Tremblay return to TV on Friday with the new comedy miniseries The Drunk and on Drugs Happy Funtime Hour. In it, the three shoot a sketch-variety TV show called The Happy Funtime Hour in the fictional town of Port Cockerton. Things go awry when an actor hired to play an eccentric scientist (the late Maury Chaykin) makes a powerful and addictive hallucinogen from local berries. As he and the cast ingest the drug, they start to believe they’re the characters they portray on the show. Guest stars include Jay Baruchel and Amy Sedaris.

With the final film in the smash Harry Potter franchise creating a big buzz at the box office, it might be an apt time to reflect on the first feature in the series on Saturday.

Rowling’s first book in her bestselling series, the young orphan wizard is just entering Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There, he meets his friends and
foes, including Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (ABC)

Uncle Buck then catch the 3:10 to Yuma MOVIE. Other choice films on in the lineup on Saturday include the 1989 comedy Uncle Buck, starring the late John Candy as a bumbling bachelor who babysits his brother’s teenage daughter (Jean Louisa Kelly) and her younger brother (Macaulay Culkin) and sister (Gaby Hoffmann) (Bravo). On the more serious and critically lauded end of the schedule is the two-time Oscar-nominated Western 3:10 to Yuma, starring Russell Crowe and Christian Bale. Uncle Buck (History Channel)

Taking modern out of family Devoted fans having a difficult time seeing Eric Stonestreet play any character but his on Modern Family Eric Stonestreet sighs slightly when asked if some people are disappointed at finding out he’s not gay like the flamboyant character he plays with such zeal on Modern Family. Some devoted fans of the TV sitcom have criticized him on Twitter for cussing or doing things they believe his character Cameron Tucker wouldn’t. Others who maintain they can’t see him as anyone but Cam even said they were surprised to see him in this summer’s Bad Teacher, a raunchy comedy about a foul-mouthed, junior high school teacher played by Cameron Diaz. “That’s the sort of thing I’ve got to stop caring about,” said Stonestreet, 39, who will be hosting a show at Montreal’s Just For Laughs comedy festival next week. “People are disappointed sometimes but I hope they understand that I’m an actor playing a character. They love the character and they might like me too if they give me a
chance.” After all, it’s not like he hasn’t done anything besides Modern Family. The Kansas-born Stonestreet has a lengthy list of TV and movie roles including a recurring stint as a technician on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. And his darker side was on full view in appearances on Nip/Tuck and NCIS in which he played murderers. “The year before Modern Family I think I killed three people on TV,” joked Stonestreet, who won an Emmy last year for best supporting actor in a comedy series. He’s nominated for the award again this year, as are several other members of the cast. Modern Family
follows the loving yet nutty families of Jay Pritchett (Ed O’Neill); his daughter Claire; and his gay son Mitchell, who is raising an
guson, is an uptight lawyer while Cam, as Mitch puts it in one episode, “is the mommy-er of the two.” That’s appropriate, con-
sidering Stonestreet says he based the nurturing yet linebacker-sized Cam on his mother. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Vive la French wines In our current wine world — where fruit forward juice from the southern hemisphere rules — French winemakers have a tough time catching a break. That may be bit hard to believe since almost every grape populating New World wine labels has its roots in France. French wines, though, have a reputation for being full-bodied and not so easy drinking. Travelling I re-discovered how approachable its wines actually are, especially the reds from Beaujolais. Balanced, soft and fruity, they’re ideal introductions to French wines and make perfect summer sippers. I got a chance to shake the hand of “the” Georges Duboeuf during my trip and his 2010 Beaujolais-Villages ($13.05 - $16.99) — made with grapes selected from among 38 specific villages — is a refreshingly foodfriendly mix of mashed red fruits, light tannins and bright acidity.

NFL players hold key to a deal Team facilities open Saturday if NFLPA approves agreement to end lockout, commissioner says NFL owners voted overwhelmingly in favour of a tentative 10-year agreement to end the lockout, pending player approval Thursday. The vote was 31-0, with the Oakland Raiders abstaining from the ratification, which came after a full day of meetings at an Atlanta-area hotel. While owners pored over the terms, commissioner Roger Goodell spoke on the
phone several times with NFL Players Association head DeMaurice Smith. “Hopefully, we can all work quickly, expeditiously, to get this agreement done,” Goodell said. Players still had to sign off on the deal — and they must re-establish their union quickly for the agreement to stand, the NFL said.

“Issues that need to be collectively bargained remain open; other issues, such as workers’ compensation, economic issues and end of deal terms, remain unresolved. There is no agreement between the NFL and the players at this time. I look forward to our call tonight.” Final issues involved how to set aside three pending court cases, including the anti-trust lawsuit filed

Fans in a frenzy over Riders’ lacklustre start DAVE CHIDLEY/THE CANADIAN PRESS
CFL EXTRA POINTS
“Last year’s West Division champs, who’ve represented the West in three of the last four Grey Cups, are in need of a shakeup and not so much for their record but for the way the team has lost.”
DAN TOTH
OTTAWA@METRONEWS.CA
Greg Marshall waited a lifetime for his first CFL head coaching job, but will he wait just as long for his first win? At 0-3, some passionate Saskatchewan fans are calling for the new coach’s head on a platter while other scapegoats range from erratic starting QB Darian Durant to defensive co-ordinator Richie Hall, who replaced ‘D’ guru Gary Etcheverry in the off-season. Hamilton stomped on Saskatchewan in a 33-3 victory last weekend that could have been even worse if the Tabbies offence had clicked on several scoring chances. Last year’s West Division
Struggling Roughriders’ quarterback Darian Durant has become one of the top targets of fan angst in Saskatchewan.
champs, who’ve represented the West in three of the last four Grey Cups, are in need of a shakeup and not so much for their record, but for the way the team has lost.
Durant has tossed up twice as many interceptions (six) as touchdown passes this season and his team has been dominated in consecutive weeks by Edmonton, Montreal and Hamilton. The D-line is unable to supply any pressure
on opposing QBs while the secondary has been dissected in each loss. The focal point for fan frustration is Marshall, who must be wishing he had chosen a less stressful line of work. Cleo’s on the clock: It’s year two of the Cleo Lemon Experiment, and as the Toronto Argos prepare for their home opener Saturday against Winnipeg, the status of the team’s No. 1 pivot is getting shaky. Yes, he managed to guide the Double Blue to the East final last season — thanks in large part to a fine Argos defence — and helped beat Calgary in Week 1 this season, but at some point he needs to shows signs he’s developing into a CFL quarterback. Nobody expects Lemon to be another Doug Flutie (although that would be nice), but Lemon’s inability to pile up touchdowns or captivate the Argos fan base has reached a critical point. In a quarterback-dri-
ven league, Lemon needs to grab the wheel and start driving or the Argos will have to turn to backups Dalton Bell or Steven Jyles. It’s their turn. B.C.’s slow star nothing new under Buono: Is it time to fire Wally Buono? When the B.C. Lions last started a season 0-3 in 2002, the perfect solution was to gas Steve Buratto and replace him with Adam Rita. Lions owner David Braley said this week he’s confident in Buono (for now) and you can’t really blame him for sticking with a winner. Buono’s Lions have suffered slow starts the last two seasons before turning it around in the second half of the year. Additional pressure to make a move this season comes from hosting the 2011 Grey Cup, but whacking Buono at this juncture is an unlikely solution.

Andy Schleck closes in on Tour de France leader Voeckler in Stage 18 ‘I’m not afraid to lose’: Schleck
Tour de France leader Thomas Voeckler speeds down Agnel pass on Thursday.
Andy Schleck led a daring attack in the Alps to win the 18th stage of the Tour de France on Thursday, a display of panache that puts him within seconds of the yellow jersey. France’s Thomas Voeckler, in a show of grit of his own, narrowly kept the coveted leader’s shirt by muscling up a punishing final climb to limit the damage at the end of the 205-kilometre trek from Pinerolo, Italy, to Galibier Serre-Chevalier ski station in France. Schleck, a 26-year-old rider from Luxembourg, attacked on the second of three grueling climbs and held on all the way up to
Agonizing Alps The pack scaled more than 60 kilometres of total climbs Thursday, about one-third of which had a gradient of more than 9 per cent. Tour director Christian Prudhomme called the 23.7-kilometre Col d’Agnel — at 2,744 metres — the hardest climb in this year’s race.
the highest-altitude finish in the race’s 108-year history, on the fabled Galibier pass. “I told the team yesterday that I had this in mind.
I wasn’t going to be fourth in Paris,” Schleck said of his place in the standings as the stage began. “I said I’d risk it all and it worked well ... Tomorrow is another day, and I hope to have the yellow jersey.” Frank Schleck was second on Thursday behind his younger brother, by two minutes seven seconds, and two-time Tour runner-up Cadel Evans of Australia was third. Voeckler was 2:21 behind, keeping his overall lead over Andy Schleck by a mere 15 seconds. The elder Schleck is third overall, 1:08 back. Evans is fourth, 1:12 off the pace with three stages left.
